A Sudorific Bolus.
Take powder'd Virginia Snake root 15 grains; Venice Treacle half a dram; Oil of Nutmegs 2 drops; Liquid Laudanum 15 drops; Diacodium as much as wanting to make it up with.
Its an egregious powerful Sudorific, and we have few comparable to it. Its one of the highest Alexipharmacs, and a great Medicine in malignant Fevers, especially when attended with a Diarrhea: Besides all this, it's also a Stomachic, Cardiac and Hysteric.
